A tree is broken at a height of 8m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 15m from the base of the tree . Find the original height of the tree

tree is perpendicular to the ground.=8
distance from ground to base of tree= 15cm
on applying pythagoras theorem, we can find hupotenuse
H^2= P^2+B^2
H^2= (15)^2+ (8)^2
H^2= 225+64
H^2= 289
H= plus minus 17
height of tree= 17+8=25
